Because it is the end of the weekend, you get two "I Love the Whedonverse" posts from Erin in one crosspost!
I Love the Whedonverse #10: Freeze Ray
When I first watched Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along-Blog, I wasn't sure how much I would like it. I have to admit that the opening of it was a bit awkward, and I wasn't sure if it would be worth it. By the time "Freeze Ray" was over with it, I was hooked. I can't help but smile every time I hear it, and the way it sets up the story is so great. It's not my favorite ("A Man's Gotta Do" or "My Eyes" take that title), but it is certainly memorable.
I Love the Whedonverse #11: Hush
Hush holds a special place in my heart, as it was one of the first episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer I ever saw*. Sure, I wasn't completely familiar with the series at the time, but I could tell this was a great episode of TV. When I watched it years later during my marathon through the series, that feeling was confirmed. It was a cleverly written episode, considering how a giant section of it had no dialogue. Contrary to how it would seem, an episode without dialogue could not be easy to write, yet he found a way. The meeting mentioned in Erin's post was a highlight, and is one of my favorite scenes from the show.
*The others I remember watching years ago were "Once More With Feeling" and "Bargaining".
